Wash the apples and if you're going to core them, it's easier to do that before slicing them. I used my mandoline to slice the apples, and it was the perfect thickness!

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and then place the apple slices on the sheets in a single layer, making sure that the apple slices do not overlap.

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apples and then bake for two hours. Easy-peasy and oh so delicious! I can't wait to try the same technique with a variety of different apples! P.S. Your house will smell ah-mazing too!!

Just knowing that I have an extra-full and busy schedule these next couple of weeks, I knew I needed a healthy snack, that's easily portable and doesn't make a mess. That's where these beauts come in, and I love the fact that it's high I protein and will help with energy levels too! I found the basic recipe over here.

In a medium sized pot, over low heat warm the nut butter and honey. Once liquid, remove from heat and stir well. Add in the vanilla, salt and cocoa powder. Again, mixing well. Then mix in the rolled oats, coco flakes and other add-ins and mix well.

Allow to cool slightly. I let mine cool on the counter, but could stick it in the fridge if you would like it cooled quicker.

Roll into small, bite sized rounds. Should make between 1 1/2 and 2 dozen depending on how big you make them.

Next time I make these, am thinking to use almond butter instead of peanut butter, add in some chia seeds and dried cherries! Probably will add a little more honey also, because it was a little dry. Can't wait! Let me know what flavor combinations you try and like!Nutritional Info (per energy ball)Calories: 72 | Carbs: 9g | Fat: 4g | Sodium: 24mg | Sugar: 5g

I made this fruit salsa with cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips as a healthier dessert option for tonight's dinner and one last summer hurrah! This is so good, made a lot but doubt there will be much, if any, left!

For the fruit salsa, you will need:One peachOne nectarineOne mangoTwo kiwisOne container of strawberriesJuice from one lime1/4 c raw honey

For the cinnamon-sugar chips you will need:One pkg low carb flour tortillas1/4 c sugar2 tsp cinnamonTo make the fruit salsa, peel and chop each of the fruits and combine in a large container. I added the juice of one lime and approximately 1/4 c of raw honey, and mixed well. This would also be good with two tbsp orange juice (in place of the lime) combined with the honey and added to the fruit.To make the cinnamon-sugar chips, first preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, cut the tortillas into six wedges. In a baking sheet, add a single layer of tortillas. Spray with a vegetable oil or butter-flavored cooking spray. Then in a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle onto the tortilla chips. Bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes or until crispy.Serve the fruit salsa with the sugared chips, and enjoy!
